EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from Kalafat and Widdin" takes us back to the 19th century during the Crimean War. The engraving, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the maritime world of Romania and Bulgaria at that time. The image showcases a bustling scene with various ships and boats dotting the river. In the foreground, we see politicians and dignitaries disembarking from a boat, including His Excellency Sami Pacha and Tefik Bey. They are greeted by locals as they make their way towards a blockhouse on land. The sketch captures not only the transportation aspect but also highlights significant figures involved in political affairs during this period. It provides valuable insight into European history, specifically Romania's connection to its neighboring countries. The detailed depiction of Kalafat, Vidin (also spelled Widdin), Calafat, and other locations along the river showcases how vital these ports were for trade and communication between nations in Europe. Overall, this historical engraving is an excellent addition to any collection or exhibition focusing on European history or maritime culture. Its intricate details transport viewers back in time while shedding light on important events that shaped our continent's past.
